<p>The issue with addresses is definitely not due to a lack of tools
for OSM contributors. For example <span id="35-8"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://regio-osm.de/hausnummerauswertung/anzeige_dynamisch.html?land=Schweiz&lon=8.71423&lat=47.05777&zoom=8&layers=B0000">https://regio-osm.de/hausnummerauswertung/anzeige_dynamisch.html?land=Schweiz&lon=8.71423&lat=47.05777&zoom=8&layers=B0000</a>
which covers essentially all the analytics needed for comparison
with open data datasets and that since years (not mention the
various address QA layers available, again since years). On the
data entry side there are good tools both for surveying, import
and conflation en masse.</span></p>
<p><span id="35-8">What might be missing is simpler variant of </span><span
id="35-8"><a href="https://osmybiz.osm.ch/#/18/47.40514/8.40289">https://osmybiz.osm.ch/#/18/47.40514/8.40289</a></span>
(I actually have the domain addmyaddress.org stashed away
somewhere for that), but while it would be nice to provide a
simple facility for people to check and potentially add their
address, it is clear that the targeted long tail is not going to
make a substantial difference in coverage.</p>
<p>So what it really boils down to is grunt work*time (and that is
even true for imports). In Central Europe we are well on the way
to acceptable coverage, given a couple of years more I suspect it
will be really good. Nearly everywhere else (special case the US,
and apologies to all the the exceptions to "nearly everywhere") we
are missing essential metadata that should come first, aka road
names and references, POIs, places and so on, essentially all the
stuff that building doodling and ML doesn't provide, but is
essential to actually having a usable map. <br>

and despite the amount of opendata information available, 5 years later,
there is still a lot of red (missing road name or mismatch between
osm and opendata).
I agree with the original author: there is a lack of a simple tool
to contribute more effectively to addresses.
for example a new contributor has no way to validate the name of a
street from the opendata. Osmose and BANO layers are good advanced tools
but are not adapted to this kind of beginner audience but also out of
their sight.
there is also a lack of awareness that missing addresses are
a lack of osm compared to some proprietary solutions.
